- If I change my address in FASIS, will that change my address in all University systems?
No, it will update the FASIS and Online Directory, but will NOT update SES, Alumni, or any other database system maintained in your department or school. In order to make address changes with your Health, Dental and Retirement providers you should notify the University’s Benefits Office directly.
- Why would I need an off campus address?
Off campus addresses are usually used by the Physicians in the Feinberg Medical School to list their private office. Researchers may want to list their lab address if it is different than their administrative office. Off campus addresses and phone numbers are listed in the paper directory and will be included in the Online Directory.
- Will these address changes affect the delivery of my check?
If you are a temporary or work study employee, have requested your check to be sent home, and have made changes to that home address, your check address will be updated to reflect that change.
Home address is not used as a check address for regular faculty, staff or graduate students. All checks for faculty, staff, or graduate students are sent to the departments.
- Will my W-2 be sent to my home address?
W2s are addressed to the department for all faculty, staff and graduate students currently being paid by the University. Home address will be used for delivery of W2s for temporary employees and employees who have left the University.
- Can I delete my off campus address?
Yes, if you would like the address deleted immediately, click on the link to Update Off Campus Address. Go to the Status drop down box and select Inactive and then click on the Save button.
If you would like the off campus address deleted on a future date, follow the above directions and then enter the effective date.
- Can I delete my home address?
No, FASIS needs a current home address for all employees.
- Can I give you either my parents’ or an alternative address as my home address for the summer?
Yes, and you can enter a date when this new address will take effect. You could enter the change now with the date you are leaving the area.
- Is it required that I list two work phones?
No, you will only be required to enter one phone number. Some employees have more than one job, so the second work phone number gives those individuals the opportunity to have another listing in the paper directory and the Online Directory.
- Will these changes update my Directory Information?
Yes, but you will get another Self Service message in early October about the Directory being printed. You will be asked to look at your job information, and other information that will be listed in the directory.
- Why do I have to go to HR with my Social Security number to get my name changed?
The IRS requires that the employee name on the year-end W2 matches the name on the employee’s social security card.
